Bulawayo soccer fans will have a double action weekend as Chicken Inn will also be at home to Gunners while another Bulawayo team, the Southern Region champions Quelaton, coached by Thulani Sibanda, will take to the road to face a Tennant Chilumba-coached Hwange at the Colliery Stadium.
Probably the biggest match of the weekend will be at Maglas Stadium where Shabanie Mine, under Luke Masomere, will welcome Caps United.
FC Platinum will have to wait a little longer before they play at their Mandava Stadium as they will be away to Black Mambas.
In the first Harare derby of the season, Motor Action will play host to the Northern Region champions Harare City while Eastern Region kings Buffaloes will be at home to Monomotapa.
Week Two will see Tshilamoya invading Mandava Stadium for a potentially mouth-watering tie against FC Platinum.
Super weekend for Bulawayo football lovers will come in Week Four when Highlanders play host to their arch-rivals, Dynamos, at Barbourfields Stadium.
Chicken Inn will the same weekend play host to FC Platinum at Luveve Stadium. The battle to reign supreme in Harare resumes in Week 12 with DeMbare playing host to Makepekepe in a match that is expected to attract a bumper crowd.
The first Bulawayo derby will come as early as Week Three when Chicken Inn lock horns with Quelaton with the second city derby pitting Highlanders against Chicken Inn in Week 10.
Highlanders will play back-to-back matches with fellow Bulawayo team Quelaton while Dynamos and FC Platinum will also have back-to-back matches, FC Platinum starting at home before travelling to the capital.
What is also interesting about this year’s fixtures is that every team which plays Highlanders will take on fellow Southern Region side and another Zambian coached team, Hwange.
